“…Many plants deploy polysaccharides (e.g., cellulose, pectins, or hemicelluloses) in order to either attach their seeds to a suitable place for germination [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], or to enable zoochoric dispersal of the seeds [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Insects in general often employ glues to attach their eggs [ 22 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. Attaching the eggs onto their food source is a common principle in phytophagous insects [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 45 ], or ectoparasites [ 46 , 47 ].…”
